I have a gadget (Netgear) that connect the receiver to my router using the house wiring. Is there a cheap gadget that will give me more outlets to connect other equipment to my router.Thanks. Eric

RhymeBoy.G, Thanks for your post. I want to connect our satellite receiver, blu ray disk device, and plasma tv to the internet by cat5 cable. We have the following: dsl modem>D-link wifi router>desktop pc>wifi laptops. I was not certain if I could connect the entertainment devices through a switch connected to the wifi router. Now I know this will work! Thanks.

I don't know why someone wrote it's only a router because it's both. All I have is this one box and so many wifi devices connected to it. iPhones, roku player, amazon fire tv's, laptops, wifi printer, and an apple tv. Oh and Dlink wifi cameras too. I love modems with built in routers. I never had to use a modem and a router separately before. Wouldn't even know how to hook the two up. I guess I'll watch a YouTube video just so I could have a clue. But yes this one box is all you'll need. My internet provider is Comcast.

you wouldn't use a router. this item connects wirelessly to your n router. you can then connect a switch (not a hub or router) to it. this item is actually a wireless bridge so it will pass dhcp leases through. i don't know if there's a limit to the number of devices but i have a 12 port switch hooked to it and 5 devices plugged into the switch and am very pleased with the results.

No, it's not really a router. One piece connects via ethernet cable to your modem, and the smaller piece can plug into any wall socket. The smaller piece is supposed to generate a WiFi signal, allegedly increasing your WiFi range. I didn't have good results with it. A good router works much better for increasing signal range.

Yes, a repeater or a AP/Bridge "should" solve your problem but it depends on how you connect the devices.You would have to use the repeater to bridge the Linksys Router using WiFI then connect the bridge using the CAT5 cable to you NetGear.That being said... I wouldn't use the $200 repeater where I could use a $100 WiFi Bridge.Or you could just use the repeater as a repeater and do away with one of your WiFi Routers

If you already have a wireless network in your house, then you can use his adapter instead of running an ethernet cable from your router to a piece of equipment. You can attach this adapter to a TV, Blu-ray player or any other piece of electronics that has both an ethernet port and a USB port. When it is attached it will allow that piece of equipment to join your wireless network.

The device does not work as I understood it would. I was of the understanding that with this device I would not need to physically access an existing router, but I have not found that to be true. I still have to have physical access to an existing router in order to make it work.

It amplifies the wireless signal from a wireless router. Just plug it in to an outlet and it will extend the usable range of your router.

A year ago I made several calls to Netgear's tech support about the Repeater feature. Not a single person there had any idea what I was talking about. I can't blame them though as Netgear doesn't include anything in the manual...so I doubt they have any info to train their own people. What you want is a Belkin F5D7132 Universal Repeater. It's basically an access point with a static IP on your local network, that is authenticated with your main router's WEP. A chore to setup so you should understand the concepts of how routers and IPs work or you will be pulling out your hair. I have one on my home theater and it works fine at 54mbps.

Just one port on your router plus one power outlet near the router... On the other end (where you want to get the network signal), you will need one power outlet and then an ethernet cable to each device you want to connect (you can connect 4 devices)

Technically you DON'T need a router if you have wifi connection to your computer or laptop you could connect this to your computer and place your computer centrally located connect up to four more devices via Ethernet. This device pretty much works like an extension cord or power strip, it is fed by the master drive and splits that connection into 4 different routes so you can plug in more devices (just like an extension cord plugged into an outlet). But, I would get a router with 4 or 5 ports and not even need this since you have no router already.

I would not buy this one. I replaced mine with a TP-Link router and it is a way better router and really easy to connect to. I left feed back on the one I bought to.Have a nice dayTed

Sorry. this question is beyond my level of expertise and experience. I recommend that you phone the NetGear people since this is where their expertise lies. They have been very helpful for me, a non expert router user.

I agree with the others this is NOT a router. I run a cat5e from one of my router ports to another room and went into the SWITCH . Now this allows me to hook up more devices (ie: blueray, compters, printers, etc) without running cables for each one all over the house. It is just a great extension from one of your ports on a router.

You need just one of the OTHER plugs that go into your router and a wall outlet. This sends the signal out into your house wiring. Then you can purchase as many as you want of this plug shown to attach to your computers and televisions or PS3 etc. I have purchased several and have them all over the house. They work very well for me.

Just need to run a cat 5 cable from your router to the AP and install the controller on your PC. No outlet needed outside because of the POE feature. Will not work as a wireless bridge from your Netgear. There are however several companies that have wireless repeaters and they work pretty well.
